Creator's Key Takeaways

Let's walk past the first set of elevators to the next set.

In almost every restaurant on Royal Caribbean ships, you're welcome to order more than one entree.

Most Royal Caribbean state rooms come with a royal king bed that can be separated into two twin beds upon request.

Staying on board during a port day allows you to take advantage of significantly less crowds.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Order multiple entrees in main dining room to sample dishes and avoid hunger.
✓Split beds in inside cabins to create more walkway space and easier access to cabinets.
✓Stay on the ship during port days to enjoy less crowded pools and attractions.
✓Bring heavy-duty magnetic hooks to use on metal cabin walls for extra storage.
✓Take photos of crew member name tags to remember names for post-cruise surveys.
✓Avoid bidding for cabin upgrades through Royal Up due to lack of control over cabin location.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ordering multiple entrees feels unnatural. — It's common on cruises; entree sizes are smaller, and it's encouraged by waiters.
Splitting beds might not be conducive to sleeping. — It opens up the room and makes accessing cabinets easier.
Skipping ports might feel wrong. — Staying on board offers less crowded attractions and pools.
